2006 Nissan Murano SL AWD Touring review from North America
"Not reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Initialy I liked my Murano - it rides smooth and we were very proud of it. Recently we made a trip to North Carolina. On our way back from our Easter break the vehicle suddenly stopped on the middle of the highway without any warning. We were shocked to see it stop, we were very luckly and by Gods grace we are alive to tell every one this story. We would have been hit by a speeding truck behind us. Since we were driving at around 55 MPH we were able to pull just in time to the shoulder, we had to push it to the shoulder in order to avoid other cars from behind hitting us. To cut the story short we had to wait for nearly 3 hours since nissan refused to give us a tow to the near by dealer. (Still under company warranty; only 17,374 and Nissan manual says it will cover towing under 36000 miles). We paid from our pocket to tow it to the nearest dealer. After the dealer examined the vehicle he said it was a faulty electric fuel pump which did not supply any fuel to the engine (very scary). We had to wait for 3 more days for the dealer to get the part from NY. If you have a Nissan Murano please check and replace the fuel system other wise it can be dangerous. They told me there is no guarantee even if a new electric pump is replaced. It can stop at any time. If any one has a similar concern please email me so I can give you more details. If you own a new Murano get a good lawyer who deals with lemon laws.
